Neat. I updated one of my VMs running debian Sid from 2.6.32 kernel to 3.2.0-1-686-pae just to see if it would work. It works on the 3.2 kernel. Kind of scary. I checked to see if I had access to any 'real world' servers running and exploitable kernel and none of them seemed to.

Strangely, it doesn't work inside of screen. I'd bet that it's because of the parent ID?
